Smaro Gregoriadou transcribed and interprets Air Variations ("The Harmonious Blacksmith") from Harpsichord Sonata V by G.F.Haendel. The work is played on a high-pitched pedal guitar with scalloped frets and movable back, tuned 4 semitones higher than ordinary.

Originally "cultivated" in Alsatian in the 19th century (Randersacker has also been claimed as an origin), Bukettraube eventually found its way to South Africa and beyond.

Bukettraube is a rare varietal that actually a cross between Sylvaner B and Schiva grossa. Aromatically aligned with Muscat, but twinged with citrus blossoms and a hauntingly sweet nectarlike palate, it's exotic flavors meld beautifully with spicier fare. A perfect wine for a hot summer day!

On the palate, the Cederberg Bukettraube 2010 is sweet with bright and zingy acidity. There are strong flavors of grapefruit, honey, and a bit of bitter grapefruit pith on the finish.
